Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

"Okay, Captain, where do you want the soy sauce factory to be built?"

"Congcong, what do you think of the stone terrace built on the southeast side of the stream?"

"Captain, that's not okay."

"Why not? The land is big enough and close to a water source, so it's very convenient to use water."

"Captain, it's because it's close to a water source that we can't build it there."

"Ah? Why?"

"Captain, although the pollution caused by soy sauce is not serious, if it is discharged into the water for a long time, it will also have a certain impact on the water source."

"Ah, there is such a question. I didn't think it through. Congcong, where do you think is suitable?"

"It could be in the valley of Dongshan Mountain, or at the entrance of the village. If it is built in the valley of Dongshan Mountain, we will have to build a road, but not at the entrance of the village. However, we may have to requisition the private plots of the households at the entrance of the village."

"Captain, if you think about it, it really makes sense."

"Which side do you prefer? Don't worry, I'll help you mediate."

"I prefer the col. It's spacious and easier to expand in the future. But it's a bit troublesome to build a road."

"It's okay. I'll go and mobilize the villagers to work harder in the fields so that they can have more time to build the factory and repair the road."

"Captain, the villagers are still building a youth training center. Can they handle it? Don't tire the villagers out. Things need to be done step by step. Don't be impatient."

"Don't worry, I know the Youth House will be completed in half a day. It's not the busy farming season yet, and it's mostly just tedious and miscellaneous farm work. Everyone has a lot of free time."

"That's good, let's go to the col and take a look."

Yu Congcong and the team leader came to the valley of Dongshan Mountain. Although it was a valley, there was a fairly flat area near the Northeast Mountain. The area was about 3,000 to 4,000 square meters, and the ground was full of stones. There was a stream near Dongshan Mountain. There was water in the first half of the year, but the water flow was not large. In the second half of the year, it dried up. It should be formed by the natural rainwater.

"Captain, let's build two rows of factory buildings near the village first, and keep the land behind for future expansion. Let's build the road from here all the way to the village entrance. Build the road first to facilitate the transportation of construction materials."

Yu Congcong and the team leader discussed the planning of this piece of land for more than an hour before they finalized all matters related to factory construction.

After separating from the team leader, on the way back, Yu Congcong was stopped by Su Ting.

"Hello, Comrade Yu!" Su Ting looked at Yu Congcong and greeted him unnaturally.

"Hello! Su Zhiqing, is there anything wrong?" Yu Congcong asked in confusion.

"Yes, I want to ask, will the soy sauce factory recruit educated youth?" Su Ting looked at Yu Congcong and asked in a gentle voice.

"About this matter, there will be an interview test. Since you educated youth have come to the village, you are the villagers and we will treat you equally. The recruitment time has not been determined yet. You should pay attention to the news and sign up for the application." Yu Congcong answered clearly.

"Okay, thank you! I got it. I won't bother you anymore." After Su Ting understood, he thanked me, said goodbye and walked away slowly.

"Su Zhiqing, can you do it by yourself? Do you need someone to take you there?" Yu Congcong saw that Su Ting was walking slowly and realized that Su Ting had just come back from surgery and his wound had not healed yet, so she asked worriedly.

"No need, I can just walk slowly by myself. Take care of yourself too!" Su Ting stopped and waved his hand.

Seeing this, Yu Congcong could only turn around and leave.

back home.

"I'm back. Your third grandmother is here."

Last night, I came back too late, ate a quick meal, washed up and went to rest. I didn't have time to tell grandma about what I heard about He Hongjun yesterday. This morning, grandma and Aunt Liu went out to work early. I have been writing mobilization drafts and factory plans, and sorting out some information and data. Until now, I haven't told grandma about He Hongjun.

"Grandma, um. Oh, it's about He Hongjun! Don't worry, I have already inquired about it." Seeing that grandma seemed a little anxious, Yu Congcong hurriedly explained.

"That's good. Your third grandmother is so anxious about this that she has blisters on her mouth. I thought you hadn't found out yet. I just advised her to calm down and wait."

"I'll go and tell her now." When Yu Congcong saw Third Grandma, she directly told her the news she had heard yesterday.

Grandma frowned when she heard this, not to mention Third Grandma, whose brows were so furrowed that they were almost knotted.

"Did he get engaged to my Rubao with a purpose from the beginning?" Third Grandma thought for a while and asked.

"Well, that shouldn't be the case." Yu Congcong answered uncertainly.

"Congcong, what should we do now?" Third Grandma looked at Yu Congcong and asked blankly.

"It depends on whether you want to continue this marriage or not." Yu Congcong said.

"What's the difference between the two?" Third Grandma asked puzzledly.

"Third Grandma, if you don't want it, just cancel the engagement and ask them for compensation. If you want it, just threaten them and ask the army for an explanation."

"Just cancel the engagement. This kind of man is totally unreliable. Marrying me will only make my Rubao suffer and live a hard life." Third Grandma came to her senses and said firmly.

"Then ask the clan leader to bring some clan members to his house to cancel the engagement and demand compensation, compensation for lost youth, mental compensation, and compensation for reputation." In this era, there are no such reasons for compensation. Yu Congcong just made them up.

Grandma and Third Grandma were stunned when they heard this. They had never heard of compensation for breaking off an engagement. They had heard of compensation before, but that was also voluntary. This was the first time they had heard of someone coming to the door and asking for compensation directly.

"Congcong, is this okay?"

"Why not? Let the clan leader take people there and make the request. If they don't agree, just threaten them. Anyway, we can't let Sister Rubao waste all these years in vain."

"Okay, I'll go discuss it with my second brother right away." After saying this, Third Grandma hurried to Tiezhu's house to find Fu Youtian.

As soon as Third Grandma left, someone else came to look for her.

Shen Qingqing came over and asked the same question as Su Ting. Yu Congcong replied to her by replying to Su Ting's words.

Surprisingly, just after Shen Qingqing was sent away, the remaining two female educated youths in the village also came. Wang Xin directly recommended herself, saying that she wanted to be an accountant. Yu Congcong was a little amused by her confidence. Without saying a word, Wang Xin took out a piece of paper from her pocket. Yu Congcong took it and saw that it was a self-introduction. After she finished reading it, she returned the manuscript to Wang Xin. Afterwards, Yu Congcong told Wang Xin and Zheng Xuan that they could take this manuscript to the recruitment day.

After finally getting rid of the troublesome Wang Xin, four male educated youth from the village also came. Yu Congcong didn't wait for them to ask and directly told them to wait for news and apply for the job.
